What is the intended goodness (khairiyah) in the Hadith: "Goodness (al-khair) is in me and in my Ummah until the Day of Resurrection," and does this negate goodness for non-Muslims?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The "Goodness is in me and in my nation" is weak and has no basis. Good and evil are inherent in human nature. Goodness predominates in a Muslim, while evil predominates in a polytheist, to the extent that goodness almost ceases to exist in them.
